Entanglement of Violence and Care
In this article, we discuss the possibilities for theorizing social reproduction allowed by analytically centering human and more-than-human relationality and the environment. Addressing the nature–society binary, multispecies relationality, and the role of the more-than-human in social reproduction, we propose theorizing reproduction as an entanglement of violence and care, understood as simultaneously existing, interlocking, multispecies oppres…
Staying with the trouble
The politics of knowledge production is a long-standing debate at the heart of the discipline of international relations (IR). The importance of the IR classroom as a site of the politics of knowledge production in the discipline has long been emphasized by critical and feminist IR scholars and has recently received renewed interest. In this article we contribute to this debate through an analysis of the ways in which learner-generated films cont…
Wounded attachments to disaster recovery
In this paper, we suggest that theorising on gendered structural violence and inequalities in disaster recovery would benefit from the in-depth focus on intersections of social relations and processes as they manifest in everyday lives. Drawing from the theorising on neoliberal states, we propose a new theoretical approach of “wounded attachments to disaster recovery”. This theoretical position is informed by the lives of three women survivors fr…
Examining relational social ontologies of disaster resilience
Purpose The neoliberal resilience discourse and its critiques both contribute to its hegemony, obscuring alternative discourses in the context of risk and uncertainties. Drawing from the “ontology of potentiality”, the authors suggest reclaiming “resilience” through situated accounts of the connected and relational every day from the global south. To explore alternate possibilities, the authors draw attention to the social ontology of disaster re…
Unruly wives in the household
Feminist scholars and activists have historically been written out of peace research, despite their strong presence in the early stages of the field. In this article, we develop the concept of “wifesization” to illustrate the process through which feminist and feminized interventions have been reduced to appendages of the field, their contributions appropriated for its development but unworthy of mention as independent producers of knowledge. Wif…
Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh
Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh offers a critical contribution to the study of post-conflict politics. The book examines the rebuilding of the city of Banda Aceh in Indonesia in the aftermath of the celebrated Helsinki-based peace mediation process, thirty years of armed conflict, and the tsunami. The research is supported by 14 documentary videos reflecting individuals' experiences on rebuilding the city. In this monograph, Marjaana Jauhola mirrors…
Decolonizing branded peacebuilding
This article interrogates the sexual ideology of Finnish peacebuilding, the country's foreign policy brand and the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda by examining the experiences of women ‘written out of history’. Using the method of ‘writing back’ I juxtapose the construction of a gender-friendly global peacebuilder identity with experiences in Finland after the Lapland War (1944–45) and in post-conflict Aceh, Indonesia (1976–2005). Although…
Scraps of Home
Global vulnerability to natural hazards has increased in recent years but, as they represent complex intersection of social, political and economic factors, their impacts do not affect people equally. Simultaneously, a paradigm of “build back better” has emerged as a global agenda to promote resilience and continuum of relief, recovery and longer-term development. This article offers insights into the complexities of rebuilding by focusing on per…

When House Becomes Home”—Reading Normativity in Gender Equality Advocacy in Post-tsunami Aceh, Indonesia
This article contributes to the ongoing discussion on the question of feminism, gender, and post-tsunami response (Akerkar, 2007; Hyndman, 2008) by offering an analysis of the normative boundaries of gender policies in the context of post-tsunami reconstruction in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. The analysis focuses on the normative ideals portrayed in Oxfam International’s radio drama “Women Can Do It Too!” broadcast in the tsunami-affected coastal ar…
Building back better? – negotiating normative boundaries of gender mainstreaming and post-tsunami reconstruction in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Indonesia
This article focuses on gender mainstreaming policies and advocacy on gender equality in the post-tsunami context in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. Through the analysis, this article illustrates how gender mainstreaming policy documents and gender advocacy of the provincial and central government, when drawing from sex/gender division and binary of genders, reproduce heteronormative boundaries. By focusing on details, I argue that the image of the het…
